New version of the neuron humming bird. It is composed of 12 independent #neuron cells manually cut out of wood. This piece will be donated to @SfNOttawa for an auction 🇨🇦. The back is bubinga wood. The humming bird is made out of walnut, padauk, maple (obviously 🍁) and cherry woods.

Thank you!!! It was a lot of fun to make.

I made a 3D model of an hippocampal pyramidal neuron using walnut wood.

Excited to present my newest piece “Hippocampe neuronal #2”. A seahorse made out of 16 individual neurons manually cut out of various woods: walnut, cherry, padauk and maple.

... In the brain, it appears that many Wdr45 KO axon terminals are massively swollen, presenting with spheroids. These spheroids are sometimes the size of several nuclei, they appear in all brain areas, and as soon as 14 days after birth for certain cells.

NeuroWoodworks @neurowoodworks.bsky.social · Feb 28

The most striking takeaway from our BPAN model is that WDR45 loss impacts many neuron subtypes: Purkinje, dopaminergic, noradrenergic, and most, if not all, interneuron subtypes. Their cell bodies look totally normal (!), but their axon terminals are really messed up...

This BPAN model shows vocalization defects in the first few days after birth, as well as long-lasting motor defects appearing after 3 months. Many defects are also seen in heterozygous females, which models the BPAN patient population most accurately.

Excited to share a new article from the lab, with grateful support from @SanfordResearch and @Dont4getMorgan!

Thank you! These are spoken for but I make them on demand. They should be listed on www.neurowoodworks.com.

Thank you! They are all going to the same home. It will be a nice display on a wall.

Three brain cell sculptures about to travel the US of A. Medium spiny neuron, Purkinje cell and a microglial cell I really like. #sciart

I had tried to replicate this one because it looked so good!

Hello, this one is spoken for. I can make it again but I don’t think I would make it with the same wood. It killed my saw.
